As Black As a Midnight Heart

Wings of angels, shaded the sky

And stained the sunset with ebony stars

Sorrow met madness, and daggers consumed

Ashes of beauty, forlorn and defiled

Behowling the purity of death

The vicious temptress divine

"...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride

Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine

I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will do us apart

I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..."

Passion and paleness, oaths of past

Pleasures of urging pain and fear

Shrouded darkness, the wicked enthrones

The priestess of timeless lust arose

Laid to rest, but slumbers not

Deceived by her fearless dreams

I buried thee

My mistress nocturne

I drank thy bitter wine,

And tasted thy world bizarre

Thee brought me madness,

That I am sure

But sands of time came closer,

Farewell my bride, farewell...

"...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride

Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine

I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will do us apart

I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..."

Pale as moonlight are the lilies on thy grave,

Never fading, just like thee...

Thou art with me, we share the same dream,

Thy blackened treasure, now belongs to me...

"...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride

Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine

(Even though) I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will do us apart

I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..."
